Dental Tribune U.S. Edition | February 2016 a9 INDUSTRY NEWS Ad Visalys® Core, the new product from Kettenbach LP (www.kettenbachusa.com), represents the next genera- tion of core buildup materials, according to the compa- ny. The most recent addition to the Visalys family is a dual-curing core buildup material with unique Active- Connect Technology (ACT) to ensure a reliable bond with all common adhesives — without an additional activator. The product was unveiled at the 2015 Inter- national Dental Show (IDS) in Germany. Visalys Core is the first core buildup material from Kettenbach. The fluoride-containing, dual-curing composite was developed for the fabrication of radi- opaque core buildups and core fillings and for cement- ing root posts. According to the company, the Active-Connect Tech- nology, unique in the market, enables the material to bond actively with all common light-curing and dual- curing, single-step and multistep adhesives, without an additional activator. The advantage for users is that it enables them to use the bonding agent they are used to — whether it is light-curing or dual-curing — or a single- or multi-bottle system. Firm foundation: stable and precise According to the company, the technology simply provides a firm foundation — stable and precise. The company reports that Visalys Core ensures easy and reliable handling with “excellent positional stability.” At the same time, it exhibits good flowability and low extrusion force. The compressive strength results in a stable monoblock and a secure bond. Optional light-curing allows the procedure to be continued immediately. Reliable self-curing provides for dependable strength even on the cavity floor and in root canals. Excellent polishing characteristics en- sure precise preparation; even without light-curing, the smear layer is minimal. The product is also free of Bisphenol A and its derivatives. Visalys Core is available in dentin and white shades in a 5 ml double syringe and in a 25 ml cartridge.
